A POINT ABOUT CHENEY
I always have a thought when I see someone like Dick 'America's Wackiest Hunter' Cheney say something like this:
.”It's nothing I can talk about,” Cheney said, “I may well be called as a witness at some point in the case and it's, therefore, inappropriate for me to comment on any facet of the case.”
In that quote he is refusing to comment on the whole, 'Scooter Libby was operating under Cheney's approval when he committed treason by blowing an undercover CIA agent's cover' thing. On the surface his statement seems to be true. Yes, it sort of would be inappropriate to comment on the ongoing case, maybe no more inappropriate than instructing a subordinate to carry out your illegal dirty work for you, but bad form regardless. The problem I have is that when I hear that kind of thing it sounds like a cop out, 'I'm guilty but I don't want to say so' sort of statement. It seems like that if he knew he was innocent it that he would have no problem saying so. It's just a gut reaction, but it seems right to me.
Oh, and he shot a guy in the face. I know it's been done to death, but I just can't help myself.
